It saw all seventeen seats of the Cook County Board of Commissioners up for election to four-year terms. Fifteen members were reelected. One member did not seek reelection and one member was defeated in their party's primary, which meant that a total of two individuals were newly elected. The Democratic Party ran nominees for fifteen of the seventeen seats, while Republicans ran nominees for only five of the seats. As these were the first elections held following the 2010 United States census, the seats faced redistricting before this election.Leonard Valerie Redistricting of Cook County board to be determined in coming weeks http://austintalks.org/2012/05/redistricting-of-cook-county-board-to-be-determined-in-coming-weeks/ AustinTalks 20 May 2023 11 May 2012 Democrats ran nominees in races for fifteen of the seventeen seats.
